Going by the announcement made by the latest Roost Home Loan Affordability Index released by top financial website interest. co. nz, many of the local residents in the Queenstown region are keeping buying a house as their first priority as compared to having kids.

It is to be mentioned here that the dark reality is coming out of the fact that they can't afford both of them and hence considering buying a house as their first choice.

For the record, the index also mentioned that Queenstown is again the least affordable place in New Zealand to buy houses. Considering the announcements made by the findings, the local median income of the
30-34 year age group can't afford a mid-priced Wakatipu home.

Roost is of a view that while the Dinks in the region may have a fair chance of buying a house but mentioned that their hard-won house may not hear the patter of little feet for a long time.

As after a baby is born, one partner would have to focus on full-time in raising the child and hence the way will just get tougher.
